Homemade pumpkin banana puree
When I first posted about making our own baby food, I used pumpkin a la can. There’s nothing wrong with it -and it’s super easy- but I wanted to find an option that I could make at home, minus the chemicals that often exist in can linings, even with organic brands. A few people in…

Cranberry avocado salad
It’s rare for me to have a case of the moan-days, since I love being able to spend the day with Liv. We’ll do the usual thing (play, read books, go on a fun adventure. meet up with friends or just take it easy) and yesterday, I only had one thing in mind that I…

Spooky Sweatfest Workout
Hi friends, here is the October cardiolicious, sculpting, sweaty Halloween workout. I hope you love it 🙂 Halloween Workout Form Cues *For any of these exercises, feel free to ditch the equipment and use dumbbells (or just your body weight for the push-ups and planks) instead. I originally designed it with a body bar, but…

Meg: Clarisonic Review
Without sounding too much like an infomercial, I’d really like to rave a little bit about my new Clarisonic brush. I had really never heard of these brushes until an aesthetician at my work recommended I try one to help with my problematic T-Zone. After glancing at the price tag I laughed in my head and told…

10 ways to make October Outstanding
Something about October makes me very, very happy. It has a lot to do with the fact that I’m one of those pumpkin fiends who goes crazy at the first sight of a can at Target, and even more to do with the fact that I LOVE Halloween- it’s always been one of my favorite…

9/30: Some pics from the day
It’s funny because with everything we did today, the camera barely seemed to escape the diaper bag. 7 mile run, brunch with nana and tata, trip to the farmer’s market (which was closing when we got there) to the Humane Society with Bell to see if we could find a friend -still waiting for the…

9/30: Meals, fitness and wildcats
Happy Sunday! I wasn’t sure if this morning’s run was going to happen- we were up pretty late last night having a blast at the U of A game. Our friends had some extra tickets in the skybox, so when I got off work, I came home to get ready, feed lovebug dinner, (here she…

Breakfast for lunch
Some pics from our Friday: Met with some friends for lunch at AJs. This salad was INCREDIBLE- greens, goat cheese, balsamic, dried cranberries, blackberries and candied almonds Paused during playtime for a 30 second snuggle 😉 and since Liv took two 2-hour naps (!!!), I did a lot around the house, made the October workout…

The smell of [tempeh] bacon in the morning…
Friday!! So happy to see ya. Anything fun planned this weekend? We’re going to watch my little bro play football tonight- it’s been a year since I’ve seen him play and I’m excited to cheer with the fam. Not as excited for the awkward high school flashbacks haha. This morning, I decided to use some…

Big-girl bath
I mentioned before that I was trying to think of ways to make bath time more fun, and that Liv was hinting that she was getting too big for her baby tub. She kept trying to climb out, and would sometimes look up at me like, “Really, mom? I’m way too old for this plastic…

Apple tart for one
Yesterday, I got to teach the Tabata class at work. My friend, who has it every week, is recovering from a triathlon and said, “Hey Gina, will you teach today?” Um, is the Pope Catholic? Even though I’m not new to Tabata, the class is very structured with specific moves for each round and recovery…

Not my skillz
One of my favorite things: taking a walk with my girls after work. It’s such a great way to end the day, and Bella appreciates the change of scenery. It’s also the icing on the cake when dinner is ready at home, waiting to be devoured: sweet potato and black bean chili! I didn’t have black beans…
